Well - I think it is related in a negative way. In work for grading, you have a necessarily adversarial relationship between the student and the grader. You can (in our university, we do) say "Don't use AI generated material in your submission", and then it's our job to detect if they have, when they submit. However, for an open-source project, the contributors are ourselves, and our collaborators. We are just asking for help in avoiding the risk of incorporating code with incompatible copyright, and reminding contributors that this risk is significant when using AI. Our contributors do their best (because they are our collaborators) and we do our best (because we have the same goals).
